NEWS RELEASE: 2nd BCT, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade kill IED emplacers
AZ ZAIDON, IRAQ – Apache attack helicopters engaged and destroyed an improvised explosive device emplacement team near Az Zaidon, Iraq, southwest of Baghdad June 7.
The IED emplacement team was observed preparing a site, emplacing, and covering the IED by an unmanned aerial vehicle at about 10:30 a.m.
The UAV, controlled by the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, continued surveillance of the team until AH-64 Apache attack helicopters from the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade arrived at the scene.
As the sedan was moving away from the IED site, the Apaches engaged the sedan with a rocket, killing the two occupants and destroying the vehicle.
The Az Zaidon area is known as a safe haven for al Qaeda and as a step-off point for launching attacks into Baghdad.
10th Mountain “Climb to Glory” ping.
God bless our troops.
AIRBORNE!
WOO HOO! Good Hunting.
That awsome rack it Soldier Dad
Damn, that had to sting a bit....
IED Emplacers are killed every day dude. You often don’t hear about it because the emplacers chose a spot in direct line-of-sight (LoS) of an overwatch (OP) location. They’re ballsy, but quite dumb.
‘bout time I hear something like this! I love it!
Praise God and pass the amunition. Good work, boys!
Yeah, when I was in Ramadi, it happened all the time.
These little bastards would low crawl through triple-strand C-wire and go 100M up the road in direct LoS of an M2 providing mounted overwatch. Ballsy!
Perhaps true, but few in the States are aware of this due to the lack of coverage by the Lame Stream Media.
WTG, 10th Mountain!! Job well done!!
true.
Thank you Kathy. These are truly the best and brightest of this generation. May God keep them safe.
